Dear Members and Friends:
It’s a quiet week following St. Patrick’s Day – take some time to explore the Fenway and events around the neighborhood:
- Sign up for Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Free First Thursdays: https://www.gardnermuseum.org/experience/thursday-nights
Take advantage of this one of a kind museum and its cultural events by attending a free event- with an evening of music, romance, and art, including a performance with Fabiola Mendez & Trio and saxophonist Jonathan Suazo in the courtyard.
- Check out the Shattuck Visitor Center and the current Sculpting with Water exhibit:
Open Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., the Emerald Necklace Conservancy’s Shattuck Visitor Center is located in the Back Bay Fens at 125 the Fenway, across the street from the Museum of Fine Arts. The visitor center is both an educational resource about the parks and a gathering place for the community. A hub of activity, you’ll find a variety of free things to do in Boston parks at the Shattuck Visitor Center — from walking tours to talks and exhibits.
- Make with MAAM:
The Massachusetts College of Art Museum (MAAM) hosts free exhibits and participatory events. Sound interesting?
